Renault · all keys lost
Renault all keys lostmobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I have lost every key to the vehicle” — that is the call we take on Renaults most days. With no working key the new key has to be created from the vehicle itself rather than copied. That means reading the key code or the lock, producing the key, and pairing it to the immobiliser. It takes longer than a spare, and it is still done where the vehicle is parked — no recovery truck.
How Renault keys work
Renault splits into two worlds: the hands-free card key (Megane, Scenic, Laguna and later Clio and Captur trims) and conventional remote/flip keys on the rest. Card keys are their own discipline — they are programmed to the car, not cut.
Trafic and Master vans are usually flip keys and remotes rather than cards, and they are frequently a work vehicle that cannot sit idle — we prioritise them accordingly.
What this job includes
- New key created from the vehicle, not copied
- Lost keys deleted so they can never start the car again
- No tow to a dealer and no main-dealer wait
- Strict proof-of-ownership check before work begins

How long a Renault all keys lost takes
The longest of the four. With nothing to copy, the key has to be produced from the Renault itself and paired to the immobiliser, so allow considerably more time on site than a spare-key visit.
What decides the price
All keys lost costs more than any other key job on the same Renault — not because of the key, but because of the decoding and programming work needed when no working key exists. It is still normally well below a dealer plus recovery.
Renault all keys lost FAQs
- My Renault is on a driveway with no keys at all — do I need it towed?
- Almost never. The whole point of the mobile service is that the key is created at the vehicle. Recovery is only relevant in the rare case where the key system genuinely has to go to a dealer, and we tell you that before you pay anything.
- What proof do I need for an all-keys-lost Renault job?
- Photo ID in your name plus V5C, insurance, hire agreement or purchase paperwork tying you to the vehicle. This is the job where we are strictest, because creating a key with no key present is exactly what a thief would want.
- Can the lost Renault keys still start my car afterwards?
- Not if we delete them, which we recommend on every lost-key job. Once removed from the vehicle they are inert plastic even if someone finds them with your address.
- Are newer Renaults covered?
- Cards and remotes across the mainstream Renault range. Newer cards depend on the exact system; we confirm before travel.
